bug in toolset configuration of gcc - still not fixed for 1.34.1?!

Hello,
I'll try to compile boost 1.34.1 on HP/UX 11.11 (acc 3.x
last version on
this platform - not able to compile boost).

bjam --prefix=/opt/boost-1_34_1 --with-thread --toolset=gcc
link=shared

I get following linker error which was already adressed in
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/15577
) on 15. May:

gcc.link.dll
bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.0.2/release/threading-multi/l
ibboost
_thread-gcc40-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1
ld: (Warning): Incorrect '-' in symbol pattern
"libboost_thread-gcc40-mt-1_34_1.
so.1.34.1". Ignoring pattern
"libboost_thread-gcc40-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1".
ld: Unrecognized argument: --start-group
Fatal error.

This is caused by the fact, that in the configuration of gcc
in
tools/build/v2/tools/gcc.jam still the linker options of gnu
ld are
set.But on HP/UX you have to use the hpux linker options -
it doesn't
know '--start-group' etc.

How can I change this linker-type=hpux is not recognized.

Regards, Oliver

Per http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/155
98
you have to change the gcc.jam:init-link-flags to handle
'hpux' as the linker type.

Then, you have to configure gcc like:

        using gcc : version : command :
<linker-type>hpux ;

And if that works, send a patch!

As for "still not fixed for 1.34.1?!" from the
subject line -- is this
problem recorded in the tracker? If not, then it's not
surprising nobody
noticed.

I tried this already in may - but no success :(

I did not reconfigure gcc - could you tell me how/where I
should do
this? I assume somewhere in gcc.jam but ther is no entry
using gcc ...

> And if that works, send a patch!

I'll do that.

Someone told me that he will adress this after its vacation
- seams he
forgot it.

Do you have a patch to show?

You put that in your user-config.jam

I guess that was not me -- at least I don't think I planned,
or had,
a vacation

No - I gave up and deleted it. But I'm forced to provide
boost on HP/UX
for gcc now. So I try to provide a pathc. But I'm not
familiar with
boost build :( So it will be hard work for me.

Which one? release/user-config.jam or
build/v2/user-config.jam 

And I'm not sure what I should write for 'command'.

It was Rene Reviera - he would look at it after the BoostCon
:(

Hi,
I've got it compiled but I couldn't test it if the libs
realy work.
I've to change multihtreading options because it is
supported by gcc on
HPUX.
I was forced to add an addition -fPIC because the HP linker
complained
it.
[modules.peek : JAMUNAME ] did not work because the switch
did never
match against HPUX - it matched always case *.
So I changed it to switch [ os.name ].
The extension for shared libraries was also not correct - it
should be
.sl instead of .so.

I dond't know where I've to change the scripts in order to
get shared
libs compiled by default. I was forced to apply link=shared
to the bjam
commandline.

Please boost.build managers, incooperated the changes to to
appropriate
places.

Regards, Oliver

Please send a patch as unified diff.

Hello Volodya,
I've appended the patches. Please look into it in order to
check if the
modifiacations are appropriate.
Hopefully you could correct the gcc + HP/UX build setup
soon.
Would be nice if you could give me some response.
Regards, Oliver

Hello,
I forgott that I didn't figured out where I can configure
the scripts in
order to genereate shared libraries by default for gcc on
HP/UX.
Hopefully you would address this.

Hi!

To learn more about Boost Build v2 see the documentation:
http://www.bo
ost.org/doc/html/bbv2.html

None of them, please. The user-config.jam is a file for the
_user_ to
_configure_ the build system. You don't want to have your
special acc
config in boost svn, do you? See here for instructions on
configuration:
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/a
dvanced.html#bbv2.advanced.configuration

And I'd recommand to put it into site-config.jam .

And for default "shared" linking use the
"default-build" option of your
project:

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/advanc
ed.html#bbv2.advanced.projects

> And I'm not sure what I should write for 'command'.

In doubt, nothing.

Frank
